Chapter 86 (1/2)
The intense clash of light-clad swords didn't let off the sound of wood colliding
The ring's floor was gouged out and sliced, groorse every ti two shi+elds around a th, Rudel kept them stationed close to him
With those, he could reduce the da bladeWhile Rudel had been on the offense, Eunius' fierce charge put him on the defensive
The row, and at tie distances Protected by his shi+elds, Rudel thought of carrying on an offensive with as first
The shi+elds of lights… while powerful shi+elds, they expended great a of those shi+elds he had yet to grow accusto pushed vack
He used his sind h his destination, there would usually be afor him Rudel needed to take another step or he would never reach Eunius
While Rudel thought he was at a disadvantage, Eunius wasblocked by the shi+elds If he didn't see through the path of Rudel's high speed movement in an instant, then that instant would decide the match
As Rudel would fly over whenever he showed a gap, Eunius put up a desperate offensive
In contrast to Rudel's bountibul hand, Eunius was at a loss on how to continue Quite soic swords Eunius could only display his swordplay diring the timeframe his wood sword could withstand his mana
”Dammiy! And I wanted to settle this match with the sword!”
The wood sword he gripped had been specially th was coic sword It was a special itele match with Rudel, and that went to show just how fixated Eunius was on this match
The off-sensation he felt when he swung his sword greorse, and it was just about nearing its limit
Rudel could also tell Eunius'left But what Rudel held was nothingit
Rudel erased his shi+elds and flooded e on Eunius On that high-speed charge, Eunius reacted, but as Rudel had completely abandoned defense to close in, he was only able to block
In the next instant, Rudel's wood sword had destroyed Eunius' In thatto destroy Eunius' weapon
”So you aimed for it, Rudel!”
Eunius tossed aside the broken sword hilt, but Rudel's hands still gripped a wood sword As he constantly changed the output of his sword, Rudel's blade was still going strong
Seeing how he didn't use his high-speed ain, Eunius could tell Rudel was also near his limit At the sword Rudel lowered to end thehe had into blocking it
He endured the blow that, if played poorly, would likely have cost him his arm
Fro But Rudel's wooden sas destroyed In that moment of Rudel's surprised, Eunius haht
Rudel leapt to soften the blow, but unable to kill theto regain his posture
Seeing the two of the as they faced one another, the audience raised cheers What was truly a battle that surpassed their iinations now unraveled before them
At the sahts to maintain the barrier It was fine for now, but when Eunius' ic sword snapped, they confronted a crisis where the barrier ht break with it
Sweat running down his forehead, Luecke kept a careful watch on their actions
Lena also watched the match in seriousness
After Izuas' permission to use the reserved front row and invited her
When she appeared in the spectators' seats, the fact that everyone see for her was surely Aleist's fault
With Basyle sitting between them, Izumi and Millia watched the match
”Even so, Rudel-sa”
As Basyle spoke in a nostalgic tone, Izumi nodded as well In the academy, Izumi was the one who had watched him most closely
The Rudel who made a ive up in his secod year And now the Rudel who had obtained the dragon of his dreams was before them
”… He's been working hard all the way”
As Izuht in the words that came from her mouth When Rudel constantly lived his life at full force, watching hierous
In truth, when he tried to obtain a dragon, he did almost lose his life
Izu at her profile, Milla turned her eyes to look at Rudel She knew That Rudel had never been conscious of her
Even now, there were ti a bit e… sad as it was, Millia had finally broken away from Rudel To move on, she had decided in her heart
Rudel and Eunius'match
Rudel wanted to use ic and attack from a distance, but his mana was close to its lihtest for their next ht
The techniques they boasted only made the match all the more ill in nature
When it caenerally dirty He threw sand into an opponent's eyes as if it was ingrained into his body Avoiding that and fighting hinoring the fracture on his left hand
”Oy, Rudel! You won't use that technique you showed me before!? Get a bit serious, why don't you!!”
Blessed with physique, you could also say that alone would let hi able to contest with him, Rudel was also a monster Both sides let off attacks that thened bodies creak, and they endured
”If that's what you want!”
Juh-speed movement In the space of an instant, he leapt into Runius' breast, toughting both hands to his chest, and firing his ht
Qigong… when she heard of such a thing from Izumi, Rudel had worked on his own to recreate it with Mana Its level of coher than when he unleashed it on Fritz a few years back
The ih Eunius' chest, its effects even felt on the wall behind him On that intense impact, the barrier warped for aweak to an unanticipated attack
But Eunius laughed as he sain before standing with a perplexed look on his face
”That's all you've got? The one before it got me worse…”
His outer wear that received the attack was already torn up, but Eunius' upper body was coic sword he lowered on hireater threat
As a counterainst Rudel, Euniuschose to endure the threat he saw in the attack against Fritz… he decided to try enduring It was a simple application of brute force, the ht That's all there was to it, but as he was producing an explosive power to defend, the ti was important
Rudel's shockwave that required accuer a threat to Eunius
He cast off his tattered garments, cast them off and took a stance It was definitely an attack he had held back on Since he raised the output, Rudel thought it would inflict a serious injury
But it did seeh for his friend before his eyes… Rudel took his own stance, and perhaps delighted, he gave a smile
As both sides exchanged fearso in an intense clash
”Oh, how a (Master's crazzzy And wait… how does he plan on beating Eunius? How does he intend to conquer that muscle idiot? It can't be an upset where Eunius will be the one fighting Aleist, right? But when he's so tattered, I get the feeling it won't even be a match)”
The scene Fina saw froh to make one clench their fists until they were covered in sweat But perhaps Fina herself wasn't interested as she thought over ould come out on top
As things stood, coht where warriors of sith clashed, Aleist's next opponent was Fritz
In the semi-finals, they predicted that Aleist would win Perhaps those around were thinking sis, as Sophina made a conflicted face
”Sophina, who do you think in the tournament?”
”… Aleist-sama, perhaps”
As Sophina muttered, Cattleya and Lilim beside her nodded In the case that Eunius won, his left aras Fro, it would take some time to repair So the problem would be how much of his stamina and mana he could recover in that time
In contrast, Aleist showed leisure in his firstto ability, it was difficult to see Aleist losing that one
